January Builders Theme: I am a builder when I work diligently
One of the biggest deterrents to working diligently is wasting time. When we look back on our day and how time passed –often we realize what could’ve been accomplished with that time. There are many ways to waste time, but one of the most common is by allowing ourselves to get distracted or discouraged about our tasks and assignments. When the urge to roam hits, take a deep breath and be still while you refocus yourself by remembering your objective.
Parent Empowerment Meeting – January 9
Our next parent empowerment meeting will be about child safety and human trafficking. This will be a virtual meeting at 7 PM on January 9th. You can join this meeting by using the following zoom link:
https://uetn-org.zoom.us/j/84062701727. Reminder – Secondary students can remediate tardies by joining the meeting with their parents. One tardy per student/parent who attends.
Secondary Band Camp – January 13, 10 AM – 1 PM
All 7-9th grade band students should plan to attend. If you can only be there part of the time, that’s more preferable than you not being there at all. Lunch will be served (pizza and pop). Please confirm with Ms. Shearer at sshearer@apamail.org.

Winterim Assistance
We have several classes that would benefit from parent volunteers during Winterim. Please contact the teachers listed if you are available.
Winter Adventure (going outside regularly) – Period 1 from 8:00 AM – 9:47 AM whillyard@apamail.org
Cooking – Periods 1 & 2 from 8:00 AM – 11:18 AM thicks@apamail.org
We also have several field trips that we would love to have parents help supervise:
Hill Air Force Base – Wednesday, January 10 8:00 AM – 1:30 PM nabraham@apamail.org
Cooking – Friday, January 12 8:00 AM – 11:18 AM thicks@apamail.org
Service – Wednesday, January 17 8:00 AM – 1:30 PM whillyard@apamail.org
Mrs. Hillyard is looking for plastic grocery bags and clean, empty water bottles for a couple of service projects for her winterim classes. If you have some that you’d be willing to share, you can have your students drop them off at the front offices, and she will collect them.
Names on Personal Items
Please make sure that your students’ names are on all personal items they bring from home. Winter coats, water bottles, sweaters (students take them off frequently at recess and forget them), lunchboxes, and backpacks should all have a name written on the inside tag. Every break, we clean out the lost and found and donate all unclaimed items to a charity.
